"Please pick me up"
Guess I'm going to have to make it on my own now.
Good afternoon! Yadokari Moving Center, sir!
It's arrived, huh?
Thank you very much.
Phew, this accounts for almost all my stuff, I guess.
Hmm? What's with these big boxes?
"Fragile, Danger!"
Achoo!
M-Meow?
Oh, just a cat, huh? Just a troublesome cat. Geez.
Phew... Thank goodness.
Looks like that fooled him. That was close.
Like that would fool me! What are you doing, Chocola?!
Eheheh... Uhm, long time no see, right, Master?
We just saw each other at home yesterday, you know.
More importantly, please listen! Those movers were really mean!
So they were picking up Chocola, right?!
And they said, "This box is heavy, so be careful with it!"
Chocola wanted to hiss at them all of the sudden. Chocola really did!
Well, compared to the rest of my things, you are heavy...
Achee!
If this one was you, then that other one must be...
Long time no see, Master.
My nose was itchy because the inside of the moving truck was dusty.
Why is Vanilla here too?
Wherever Chocola is, I am too.
Besides, catgirls don't dislike tight spaces.
Wait, that's not the point here...
Also, they said "This box is heavy, so be careful with it" in regards to me, too.
So I was also mad. Just fuming!
Is that so?
-Fume! Fume! -Fume! Fume!
In any case, Chocola, Vanilla, get out of there.
Hey, let's check out that room, too!
So fluffy!
So soft...
Shigure cannot come to the phone right now.
Please leave your message after the beep.
I can't get in contact with her now of all times?
What is that Shigure doing?
We've finished snuggling on Master's bed!
The new bed is very fluffy. It gets a passing score.
Good work, you two. Gosh, you both have major bed-head.
It feels so good when you pat my head, Master!
I have no objections to this. More.
So, what in the world are you two doing here?
You said you wouldn't bring us with you, so we had no choice.
Chocola said she was going, so I tagged along.
You had no choice? Just tagged along? You two...
Listen, I explained it to you several times before I left.
I don't plan on going back to that house.
There are no issues for you at my folks' place,
and Shigure has the other catgirls there, so...
N-No, you've got it wrong!
Chocola's stomach is just being rebellious!
It can't be helped, since you didn't eat enough at breakfast.
Besides, the sound of Chocola's stomach rumbling is cute.
Well, we can take care of things after we go and buy some food.
"I've got my hands full with getting the bakery ready to be opened."
Hey, hey, Master?
What does 'period pain' mean?
Hm? Period pain? Period pain is, well... Just hold on a second...
"Hurry and come get Chocola and Vanilla."
And "send"...
So, what's this about "period"?
Oh...
Oh! By "period" do they mean...
A point in time after you finish working where your muscles get sore?!
Brilliant, Chocola. Yes, that's the period in question.
Right, Master?
Yeah, that's more or less it, so keep it down, will you? Okay?
Master, your face is red.
She's right! Master, your face is bright red!
Do you happen to have a fever, by any chance?
-No, I'm fine. Completely fine! -When we had fevers, it was really bad.
Right! We need to get to the clinic quick!
There is a clinic right around here.
"Motomachi Clinic"
Come on, Master, let's go and tell them your period pain is really bad.
Period problem! Period problem! My Master's period is going to kill him!
Hey, Mommy? What's a period?
Is the guy over there getting red 'cos of a "period"?
-I-I'm fine, really. Let's go! -Ooh, Master, you're super fast.
Shigure cannot come to the phone right now.
Please leave your message after the beep.
-Master! Master! -Hm?
Let's take a bath together! I'll even wash your back!
You haven't bathed with us since we've matured.
Master, you pervert.
You haven't even grown that much. What are you two talking about?
M-Meowhat did you just say?!
Those words are sexual harassment. You're trampling on our dignity.
Shigure-chan said that Chocola and Vanilla have already grown to be elegant cat-ladies!
Besides, this is Chocola's identity we are talking about.
Yeah, yeah. Don't worry about that bath.
You two need to get ready to go home.
Nya? Get ready to go home? But this is Chocola's home, isn't it?
And I belong next to Chocola.
Also, Master is cool.
Stop feigning ignorance, you two. I'll take you both home, so get ready to leave.
Listen up, you two. I'm going to open up my bakery.
I've got no one to rely on,
so I don't know if I can take care of the two of you. Get it?
You would be a lot happier if you stayed with Shigure back at my folks' place.
It's going to be difficult enough to just looking after myself-
No way...
No way! Chocola won't go back!
Chocola hates Master for saying that!
Hey, wait! Hold on, Chocola!
I will retreat as swift as a jackrabbit, no, as swift as a tomcat. Scurry, scurry.
Hey! Wait, stop!
Come on, come on, Master! Chocola's over here!
It's dangerous, so stop running around!
It's unnecessary to worry about catgirls like that. Scurry, scurry, scurry.
Maybe so in Chocola's case, but aren't you bad at physical activity?!
Come on! I've got you now, Chocola!
Nyaa! Master, you pervert!
Master, you're grabbing Chocola's chest with an iron grip.
I-I'm not! It's because you two are running around!
Nyan, now's my chance!
Hey now, stop it! There, got you, Vanilla!
Tickle tickle tickle tickle!
Wait! Chocola, stop! Really, sto- Gwahaha, Chocowahah!
Nice assist, Chocola! Scurry, scurry.
Like I said, stop running!
I would like to respect Chcoola and Vanilla's thoughts on the matter.
If Chocola and Vanilla agree to it, then I'll come get them.
But Shigure, even if you say that, I don't think they'll-
By the way, Nii-sama.
Would you whisper this morning's sweet nothings to your little sister?
By the way, my foot.
Now then, I need to get going. I love you, Nii-sama. I'll talk to you later.
Ah, wait! Shigure!
Seriously?
Master's cooking always tastes good nya!
Chocola, there's some ketchup on your cheek.
It's cutely artistic.
You two are definitely going home today, okay?
M-Master, don't you enjoy us being with you?
Chocola enjoys it.
I'm going to be working to prepare the store for the grand opening,
so I don't have time to relax and play with you two.
Be good girls and go home.
"Master"
Are we inconveniencing you by staying here, Master?
Yes, you are.
I see...
I guess we are, then.
Chocola...
Even so... even so, Chocola wants to stay by your side, Master.
If Chocola is staying here, then I am too.
Okay now, listen to me...
-Nya?! -Nya?!
Hm?
Thank you very much for your business.
I'm here to deliver the tea set you ordered.
Could you please sign this invoice?
Somehow, this doesn't look like what I ordered.
Huh? Is that so?
The stuff I ordered is in here too, but...
We don't need this much...
M-My apologies! I will check with the main office right away!
Yes... Yes... Understood...
You have my sincerest apologies!
Because of an error on our part, it appears that another order got mixed in with yours.
I-I see.
We will go through it all until we separate out your order.
What? Out of all of these?
Right now?
I need to hurry off to my next order or they will have my head!
I'm very sorry about this! I appreciate the help!
Hmm, even with the two of us, this is going to take some time...
-Stare... -Hm?
-Stare... -Stare...
Ah, I have catgirl hands on deck!
Thank you very much, sir! Thank you very much, kitties!
The help was greatly appreciated!
Well then, I'll be on my way!
Man, I'm exhausted.
Good job, Master. Here's some tea.
Thank you, Chocola.
Hmm?
Stare... (Praise me praise me praise me praise me!)
Chocola, Vanilla, you two saved my bacon.
Yay! Vanilla, Master just praised the both of us!
Yippee!
Yes, yes. It was worth it, watching from the shadows. Very good.
Chocola was helpful, right, Master? Right?
I think it'll be really hard for you to work alone, Master!
Right? Right?
Yes, yes. Assistance from a catgirl is definitely effective.
That's a different issue from the one from before. You two have to go back home.
No way...
And besides, I never wanted either of you to work for me.
I want you two to...
So we really can't stay?
Since we're here anyways, Chocola guesses she'll go clean up...
Is it that much of a bother for us to be here, Master? Are we bad catgirls?
You two aren't bad catgirls, and that's why I can't have you stay here.
So we're good catgirls, but we can't stay?
You're good catgirls, which is why you can't stay.
Hmm...
Humans are hard to understand. Catgirls do not understand such things.
If we like a human, we want to be near them.
At the very least, that's how I feel.
Vanilla...
I will go check on Chocola.
"Humans are hard to understand", huh?
Now that I think about it, that's a pretty inconsistent way of thinking, isn't it?
It must be pretty nice to live the simple life of a catgirl, huh?
The sunset is so pretty.
Right, Chocola?
Huh? Oh, sorry, Vanilla! What was it called? Catnip?
That sounds about right.
That isn't the right word at all.
Chocola, if you're tired, why don't we rest a bit?
Ah, okay. Maybe a little bit.
In that case, I will go buy something to drink.
Ahh, thanks. Something for all three of us, okay?
Understood. Leave it to me.
Chocola will go home.
Is it all right if Chocola calls you sometimes, Master?
Yeah.
Would it be all right to go visit you as well, Master?
Yeah.
Master, will you be sure to think about us every day?
Is it all right for Chocola...
...to still call you Master, even if Chocola is far away from you?
Yeah. Of course.
Master!
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, Master!
You really are kind, aren't you, Master?
It's not about being kind. It's just common sense.
You said the same thing before, didn't you, Master?
Before?
Back when we first came to your house...
Do you remember when Chocola and Vanilla had that fever?
It was the middle of the night, and no one had realized what was happening.
But we felt so much pain, anguish, and loneliness.
We couldn't speak or move our arms or legs at all.
It's all right. I'm here with you now, so don't worry.
With your big, warm hands, you gently rubbed our heads, Master.
When morning came, you took us to the clinic.
You were always, always by our side.
It made the worries and loneliness we had before all seem like a bad dream.
You said it back then as well.
It's not about being kind. It's just common sense.
But if Master hadn't saved us, Chocola and Vanilla wouldn't be here now.
That's why...
That's way, from that day forward, Master became Chocola's Master!
It was from that day forward that Chocola began loving her kind Master, you know?
That's why when Chocola heard that Master wouldn't be around anymore,
she just had to go with you.
Chocola...
Catgirls really don't understand complicated things,
But...but...no matter what, Chocola wants to be by Master's side.
Chocola will do anything she can to help!
That's why... Would it be okay to ask one more time?
Chocola wants to stay with you, Master.
Chocola...
We are catgirls, so we're honest with ourselves.
If I'm going to have fun, I want it to be with Chocola.
Even if things are difficult, I think I'll be fine as long as I'm with Chocola.
After all, it's much more lonely and painful when we can't be together.
If you really love someone,
you want to be with them, even if you'll cause problems for them.
I think that, even though you're our Master,
it's wrong for you to decide whether or not we'll be happy.
Vanilla...
Please! This is where Chocola wants to be.
So, I'm not the one to dictate Chocola and Vanilla's happiness...
To think, a human not being able to give a retort to a catgirl.
Master, does that mean?
Let's go home.
It won't be like it was back at home.You can't just live here however you like, got it?
Master!
Yes! That won't be a problem!
Chocola is happy as long as Master is here with her!
Well, well. Master has finally surrendered.
Sometimes people say they hate what they actually love, right?
Yeah, I suppose so.
Let's do our best from now on.
Of course! Chocola is all right even if we don't have fatty tuna for dinner every night!
Just occasionally is good enough!
For meat, A4 grade is fine as long as it's Matsuzaka beef. Fatty meat is the best!
I'm telling you that won't fly.
Oh yeah, we should go buy that shampoo that you guys like.
Ohhh, Master, you're so cool!
While we're at it, let's buy some Matsuzaka beef.
Well, today is a celebration, so why not?
Yay! A celebratory party!
Master is so generous! Our Master is the best!
Just this once, okay?
Yay! Yippie!
Chocola, you're super cute!
Flip your skirt up just a bit!
Like this? Like this? Flip flip!
Oh, Master is looking at you with perverted eyes, Chocola.
Oh no, Master, you pervert!
Stop fooling around!
Master! Do you think Chocola looks good in the bakery uniform?
Yeah, it looks really good. I'm glad we were able to find cute ones.
Yes, good, good.
I was the one who went through the effort of ordering them, though.
It looks good on you too, Vanilla.
I'm counting on you two from here on, you know.
Well, we'll do our best to the extent of our abilities.
Yay, Master praised us!
Master! Someone is approaching the bakery!
All hands, man your positions!
Are you ready?!
It would be quicker to out and capture them.
Leave it to me!
Wait, wait, wait. It's only been five minutes since we opened!
If you brace yourself like that from the start, then you'll get tired quickly.
Pardon me.
M-Meow, welcommmmmmme!
Wha-?!
W-What would you like to meowrder?!
Oh, the recommendations are that, you know! Umm, cake!
We also have black tea! Umm, the warm kind and the cold kind!
Will you two calm down?
I'm terribly sorry for that. I'm the owner of this bakery, Minaduki.
Here is our menu. Hmm?
Hmm...
Taking into account the location and use of color, this is quite a splendid storefront.
I've taken a liking to this place! I shall buy every cake you have available!
Now then, good sir, you may pack up all the cakes here!
Ah, you do take credit cards, yes?
Uh, Shigure, what are you doing?
Ha ha ha! Who is this Shigure?
Sir, you must have mistaken me for someone else!
Say what you like, but that's your name.
There's no way a young lass, such a pretty and earnest little sister to her older brother,
would grace such a place like this with her presence!
Oh, it's just Shigure! It's been a while! How have you been?
Huh?
Shigure, what's with that outfit? Is that what people are wearing now?
You got busted real quick, Shigure!
We told you, didn't we? We said that disguise wasn't fooling anyone.
The concept in general doesn't make much sense.
Yeah, catgirls could spot you out by scent, after all.
I-I was doing it for Nii-sama's sake.
Gwagaaah! You're all terrible!!
Ahem, it's been quite a while, Nii-sama.
I'm relieved to see that you are doing well.
Been a quite a while? We saw each other just the other day.
What are you all doing here?
Yo. You both look like you're doing well, ChocoVani.
Oh, are those your uniforms? Aren't they just adorable!
I guess fine feathers really do make fine birds.
I'm glad that you two are doing well. I've been worried.
That's right. You should've just told us you were going with Kashou-sama.
Ahaha, sorry. It was kind of a spur-of-the-moment thing.
We got to see each other again, that's all that matters.
I'm glad that everyone is doing well.
Mmhmm! Seeing the catgirls having a happy, emotional reunion together is simply the best!
The best, you say...
Woahh! This is really good!
Hey Kashou! You're pretty good at this, aren't ya?
Oh wow! To think that there would be a day in my catgirl-life...
...that I could eat a whole cake by myself!
Mmm. What a wonderful smell.
For a cat's tongue, lukewarm is definitely the best, right?
Could I please have something to go with my tea?
Here you go. Freshly-baked apple pie.
Wow, I've always wanted to try freshly-baked apple pie!
That's right, freshly-baked things are the best for cat tongues.
Ow, that's hot!
Wow, this is really delicious!
How can you eat something so hot?!
May-chan, I think you just have a sensitive cat tongue...
But honestly, this is a fine and lovely bakery.
Ah, thanks.
I'm happy my beloved Nii-sama no longer has to hide his love of baking.
Late into the night in the kitchen of a Japanese sweets shop, at that.
Sorry for worrying you so much, Shigure.
If it's to further your happiness, Nii-sama, I'm fine with...
Kashou-san, what does "La Soleil" mean?
In French, it means "The Sun."
It's the same name as the shop of a person that Master admires, if I recall.
Apparently, it means "a lady's sun". Sounds sort of erotic.
You think I named my shop something erotic?
Hehe, personally... Oh, I mean, I think it's romantic.
Still, I am glad that both Chocola and Vanilla are doing well.
However...Nii-sama, if you're going to have Chocola and Vanilla working in this bakery,
then proper qualifications will have to be met.
Qualifications? Are you talking about cooking certifications?
-Nya?! -Nya?!
Teehee. Not that, Nii-sama. It isn't that...
In order to have a catgirl take work on their own or treat them as an employee,
you will need to get them an "Independent Action Permit".
Independent Action Permit?!
Yes. It's one thing when they're with their guardian,
but if a catgirl goes outside alone without their permit,
they can be taken into police custody.
Police?!
Custody?!
What's custody?
It means arrested.
W-whya?! Whyat was that?!
Wait, do Azuki and the others have a permit?
Of course we do. Lookie here.
Well, a catgirl needs to have their Bell with them at the very least.
Oh, so the Bell is their permit.
It means that we're the top catgirls among catgirls.
They say that only one in ten catgirls pass the Bell exam, you know...
Belonging to Shigure-sama and not having a Bell...
...would be an embarassment to our Master.
If it will be of help to Master, Chocola will do her best to get a Bell!
Chocola...
I've heard that there are places you cannot go without a Bell.
I wouldn't want to be left out.
Yep, yep! I would have to stay home a lot before getting my bell,
so I know how it feels to be left out.
Chocola, Vanilla, if you feel that way,
I could pitch in and help you... with a crash course for your bell exam.
Shigure, would you do that?
I've decided that I'll work with Chocola and Vanilla too.
Master...
I'll work hard, too.
Do your best and pass it in one shot, Chocola, Vanilla!
Oh man, and this is why this big-headed Maine Coon is troublesome, you know?
It's not a matter of how many times it takes you to pass the test.
You failed the test twice yourself, Azuki, so there's no reason to feel inferior about it.
Ah, could it be that...
...you were at a disadvantage because of your stubby little arms and legs?
The hell did you say?!
Those are the trade-mark of a Munchkin catgirl!
Take your long-haired kittengirl butt home...
...and brush yourself before your wreck yourself!
I'm not going to treat you like my senior just because you're older.
F-Fighting isn't allowed! Calm down, you two! Okay?
T-That's right! If you get too stressed, you'll get bald spots!
Azuki and Coconut really don't get tired of fighting like this day in and day out, huh?
Just another normal day for the Minaduki family. Even here at La Soleil, too.
Ah, geez. If you're going to fight and kick up dust, then do it outside. Out-si-de.
What did you say, punk?
Big talk for someone who can't even go to the bathroom at night...
...without turning on all the lights!
Nya! I told you that I'm not the type of catgirl...
...who had nocturnal instincts or night vision passed down to me, you nyumbskull!
Things like that are some of your cute points though, Mei-chan.
Hiss! How dare you make fun of me when you're the one...
...in that stupid magical girl get-up?!
Nya! Shigure-chan said it suited me, so what's wrong with it? Nyaaaaa!
Are these guys are really Bell-holders?
When Chocola gets her Bell,
she wants to go to an amusement park with you, Master!
An amusement park would be fine, too, but I want to go to an aquarium.
I want to see dolphins and blue whales.
Do they have blue whales at aquariums?
She probably just said it just because.
I'll do my best to pass the Bell exam!
Shigure-chan, please train me!
"Bell Exam Cheat sheet"
This is the first step towards getting your own Bell!
Are you ready, Chocola? Vanilla?
Yes, ma'am! All preparations are go, Professor Shigure-chan!
Yes, ma'am. All preparations are go!
Listen carefully, okay? In order to receive a Bell, you must meet the requirement:
"be able to fit into human society as a single catgirl."
The entire test will focus on this one principle!
Okay, now repeat what I just said!
"The entire test will focus on this one principle!"
Wrong! You were supposed to repeat the other bit!
If this were the exam, you'd already be failing it!
Is this going to work out?
Now listen. As for what the "Independent Action Permit" entails...
Yes, yes?
Are you able to understand human society's rules...
...without giving in to your catgirl's habits and instincts,
-and use reason to guide your actions? -Yes, yes?
It's proof, given only to those who have passed the test,
that shows that its owner is a real catgirl.
N-No way!
Chocola isn't a real catgirl?! What should Chocola do?!
Well, catgirls are catgirls. There's no reason to get flustered.
Vanilla really lacks ambition, huh?
She just takes it easy with all those deadpan jokes.
She works hard when it's needed. She just doesn't show her effort.
You two take it pretty easy too, though.
There's a human saying: "The proof is in the pudding."
Azuki, why don't you show them an example.
Huh? Why? What a pain.
I'd better get something out of this.
We're counting on you, Azu-nyan!
Please, Azuki.
Now then, observe the strong will of a Bell-holding catgirl.
Nii-sama, watch carefully.
Here I have a juicy piece of fatty tuna that any catgirl would clamor for.
A normal catgirl would give in to instinct and leap right for it.
However, when I dangle this in front of Azuki's eyes...
-Ah... -Ah...
Ah...
Ahem.
That right there was a bad example.
Azuki will be punished after this. For now... Coconut!
Leave it to me, Shigure-sama.
Nii-sama, are you watching carefully?
I'll show you what separates here from Azuki.
There! And there!
Ohhh! That's amazing, Coco-chan! No reaction at all!
She's not reacting to it at all. Quite an impressive display.
Teehee. Something like this isn't even special enough to warrant praise!
Hmm?
Oww!
S-Sorry, Chocola! Are you okay? I just-
There, there. You're a catgirl, so it can't be helped.
Shigure?
H-How odd... Huh?
Can you really handle teaching them the basics to get the permit?
You get the mouth by using a Russian character.
Remember that and it'll be really useful.
Oh, wow! Maple-chan, you're an emoticon master. So cool!
Heehee, you've got such great reactions, Chocola.
Okay, next I'll show you some good stickers to use.
You know about flowers, right?
They have something called a stamen and a pistil, you see.
T-The stamen and the pistil, right? Umm,
when they embrace, it gets all sticky,
and then a baby...
Cinnamon, quit going into heat and teach me.
Just what are they up to now?
In order to become a Bell-holder,
they need to have at least the common knowledge...
...and understanding of an elementary school student.
To me, it looks like they're only playing with a phone app and...
...reading strange books, though.
Well, when you're in trouble, it seems okay in general to dial 1-1-0 on the phone.
Also, if you think your life is in danger, then it's 1-1-9.
You'll be good if you can remember all that.
May-chan, the smartphone says it's going to rain tomorrow!
And it'll be humid, too!
Insects, you see, carry pollen,
and take it to the pistil, see?
And then they do the thing in the thing,
and impregnate it, and... Ahhh...
So the insects have sex in their place?
Nyaan! Oh, you mustn't!
Vanilla-chan, you're making me drool by saying such shameless things like "sex"!
Cinnamon, your drool is no joke.
Is this what you call not giving in to their catgirl's habits and instincts,
and using reason to guide their actions?
Erg...
All right, all that's left is the apple pie.
Master! Master! Look! Please look at this!
We've finally transcended the limits of catgirldom.
With this, our Bell exams will be perfect.
You sure got there quickly.
That is because we adore you profoundly, Master!
You don't need to mimic Shigure.
So, what do you want me to look at?
Heeheehee. Master! Please scritch my throat!
Your throat?
Chocola will contain her catgirl joy using her best poker face.
Like this?
Purr purr purr...
Well, that didn't work.
Nya! Chocola can't help it! You're Chocola's beloved Master!
I'm going to scritch your throat.
Purr purr purr...
You did it for Vanilla, too.
W-Well, why don't you try, Vanilla? Can you do it?!
Of course I can. I won't blink even if you clap right in front of my face.
Okay, how about like this, then?
Look, Master!
Vanilla's tail is sticking straight up, stiff enough to pierce the heavens!
Vanilla is super enjoying it!
N-No! This isn't, umm...
It's no go for you either, Vanilla.
Nya! This was just a minor setback!
Yes, we'll definitely pass all of the rest of them, so don't worry.
You can test us on every one of these catgirl killer tests.
"Independent Action Permit, Chapter of the Tiger"
Err, why don't we go in order from the top, then.
Please leave it to us! We're Master's catgirls, after all!
Don't worry.
Okay, then.
-Sniff, sniff, sniff, sniff. -Sniff, sniff, sniff, sniff.
Resisting sniffing test, failed.
-Nya?! -Nya?!
By the way, what these fingers touched earlier was blue cheese.
-Unyaaaaaaah!! -Unyaaaaaaah!!
Okay, you failed the Flehmen response test, as well.
-Nyanya?! -Okay, next.
-Gnyaaah?! -Nyaaaa?!
Ahh... Ahhhh... Master... Augh...
Hiss! Just what are you doing?! Hiss!
Clapping-in-the-face test, also failed.
Nya, nya!
Nya, nya!
Unya nya, nya, nya! Nya, nya! Nya, nya, nya!
Feather lure test, failed!
Weheheheh. This is nothing, this is nothing.
It feels like my brain is melting... It can't be beat, it really can't.
This really is the best nya. Purr, purr, purr!
More! I need more of this! Myaheheh, meohohoh.
Catnip test, also failed.
Nyahahaha! Vanilla, we failed! Nyahahaha!
It doesn't even matter anymore. I'm taking this catnip and going to sleep.
Chocola, Vanilla, you've failed the Bell Exam!
"What is the Flehmen response?"
Master!
Chocola, Vanilla!
We're back!
We're back.
Welcome back. So, how did your exam go?
Absolutely perfect!
Mission successfully completed. Perfect!
Oh, wow, good job.
Yes! Now Chocola and Vanilla are both fine Bell-holding catgirls!
With two Bell-holding catgirls here, you have nothing to fear.
That's right. You two are fine, Bell-holding poster catgirls.
I'm counting on you to help in the bakery, okay?
-Yes! -Just leave it to us.
"Congratulations on passing the exam!"
Nya! So high up!
We're so high up, Master! Nyahahaha!
People really do look like ants from up high.
Isn't that right, Master?
H-How can you two be so calm?
High places feel so nice, don't they?
Right now, my excitement is 107 meters above sea level.
I-Is that so?
Three, two, one...
Bye bye!
-Nyaaaaa! -Nyaaaaa!
Giddy-up! Giddy-up! Nyahaha!
Giddy-up! Giddy-up! It's so plain, but so fun!
Gyaaaah! Master, it's gonna, gonne kill me!
I-It's fine! Calm down!
I think that my pride as a catgirl and other things may come spilling out of me.
Hold on, we're almost to the exit. Just hold it until then!
Looks like you're enjoying your Bell celebration.
Yes! It's the best thing ever!
Yeah, Bells are the best.
-Master? -Hmm?
Here, say ahh!
Ahhh!
Mmm, that's delicious.
Yay!
We did it!
But are you sure it's okay to close for the day, even with how busy things have been?
I do think you've been looking tired lately, Master.
You guys don't need to worry about anything.
This is something that I want to do for the both of you.
Okay, maybe next we should do something a little more relaxed?
We still have plenty of time left in the day, after all.
Yeah. I'm not going to let you make excuses about being tired yet.
Nyan! Master, you're so confident!
Master is being so aggressive nya. Let's go!
Wow, it's so big! The fish tank! It's seriously huge!
Amazing! An undersea tunnel! There are fish swimming above my head!
The amusement park and the aquarium are both super duper fun, Master!
I'm also having lots of fun.
This is pretty high on the list of fun things in my catgirl life.
It's because you two worked hard and got your Bells.
Yes! Chocola is glad she worked so hard back then!
Now we can help in the bakery and go out and play, too.
Bells are great. Super great.
Wow, look, look, Master! Vanilla!
Tuna! There's tuna!
So huge!
So profound! Such speed!
They're so energetic and fresh and look so delicious...
So much fatty funa. Salivating... I'm salivating...
Huh? Chocola! Vanilla!
Whoa!
Achoo!
Are you all right, Master?
The water was still cold.
The sun is starting to set, so that's probably it for today.
No, I'm still all right.
The whole day has been so much fun, and now we're worn out. Besides...
We care very much about our Master.
-Right? -Right?
Okay, let's come back again some other time, then.
Yes! Chocola wants to do it again!
Yeah, that would be nice.
So, to end off, what do you say we buy souvenirs and head home?
Okay! Souvenirs! I'm so happy!
Thank you, Master. You're super cool.
We're home!
-We're home! -We're home!
Master, is something the matter?
-Master! -Master!
I-I'm fine...
Master!
You're burning up...
Oh no...
I just had a little pent-up fatigue. Pretty pathetic, huh?
But, are you sure you don't need to go to the clinic?
We covered this during the Bell exam.
If someone can't move, you should call an ambulance with 1-1-9.
No ambulances.
We've finally got customers coming in.
How would it look if an ambulance was stopped in front of the bakery?
Master...
Master...
Besides, this is nothing to call an ambulance over.
I just need a good night's sleep and I'll be fine,
so don't you worry...
Chocola is here by your side, Master!
This time we'll be the ones who will take care of you.
39 degrees. His fever is getting worse!
Maybe it's because he got drenched in water at the dolphin show?
He took us there because we wanted to go...
We do we do? Just what should we do?
We can't do anything. It's frustrating...
Chocola... Vanilla...
Chocola is here! Chocola is right here!
Me, too. Vanilla is here, too... I'm right here by your side!
We're returning the favor for back then.
This time, Chocola and Vanilla have to help Master.
Yeah.
"Nii-sama"
It's no use...
It's late, so Shigure is probably asleep.
Chocola and Vanilla will have to manage on our own!
Let's go to the clinic and bring a doctor back.
We're not supposed to call an ambulance, but just a doctor should be fine, right?
Yeah. I was thinking the same thing.
As for a nearby clinic...
"Motomachi Clinic"
Sorry, Master.
We must break our promise to stay by your side.
We'll apologize a ton after,
but we can't sit here while someone we love is suffering.
We'll bring a doctor and come back to your side right away, promise.
Please, just hold on.
"Motomachi Clinic"
It's closed... It can't be...
After we came all this way?!
Excuse me, excuse me! If anyone is inside, please open up!
We beg of you! Please, help our Master! Please!
What are you two doing there?
U-Um, our Master is in trouble, so we wanted to get a doctor!
The clinic is closed, and we don't know what to do...
Your Master? That's quite a problem but...
You're catgirls, so where are your Bells?
-Ah?! -Ah?!
If a catgirl goes outside alone without their permit,
they can be taken into police custody.
Umm, we always wear them!
It's because we rushed out the house like that...
I'm going to have to ask the two of you to come with me.
You can go home as soon as we get in touch with your Master, okay?
Chocola has to go and bring home a doctor for Master!
Master is suffering, so we have to go home!
We can't go! Please, understand!
I'm sorry, but a lot of runaway catgirls have told us stories like that.
So we have to bring in any catgirls not wearing Bells.
N-No way...
-I'm sorry! -I'm sorry!
Oh!
Calm down, little catgirls.
It's all right, okay?
No, it isn't! Chocola and Vanilla have to get back to Master!
We promised him we would come back!
I'm sorry, but just this once, I absolutely refuse!
The law is the law. I have no choice but to bring you two in...
Master!
Master!
-Huh?! -Huh?!
Chocola! Vanilla!
Master! Why, why?!
Master! Why?!
What are you doing? Geez...
-Unya!! -Unya!!
I saw that you had been looking up clinics on my smartphone,
so I had a feeling and came here.
Thank goodness you're both safe.
You left your Bells behind.
But, but...
We thought that this time, we had to protect you, Master...
Master, you looked like you were in so much pain.
We couldn't just stand there and do nothing.
We're family, so we wanted to do something!
Yeah, it's natural to worry about family.
That's why I couldn't just sit around doing nothing, either.
-Master! -Master!
I get it, I get it.
Geez, you two, making a sick person worry.
Chocola is sorry... She's sorry for making you worry, Master.
Sorry, Master. Sorry...
It's okay now, so don't cry.
Master, Master!
Master, Master!
Let's go back to our home, Chocola, Vanilla.
Yes! Let's go home, Master!
Yeah. The three of us, together.
W-What is all this?
Shigure... That outfit.
Good morning, Nii-sama.
Ever since you collapsed the other day, I've had an idea.
I thought that it was my duty as your sister to lessen your burden...
...by bringing in more workers to La Soleil, Nii-sama.
Even if you increase the number of staff, right now-
No need to worry, Nii-sama!
I will lend a hand, of course,
but all of the Minaduki catgirls have also agreed to offer their help.
Anything for Shigure-sama and Kashou-sama!
I guess it can't be helped, then.
You'll at least give us some allowance for this, right, Shigure?
Geez. It's a pain in the butt,
but that's the life of being a pet catgirl, I guess.
If I can enjoy Kashou-sama's delicious cake and tea, that's enough for me.
All of them have Bells, and will be immediate assets.
You have no objections, right, Nii-sama?
Umm, wait a second...
Welcome, everyone! As your superior, Chocola welcomes you!
Back together with everyone again. This is how it should be.
Short cake, please!
-Welcome! -Welcome!
-Welcome to La Soleil! -Welcome to La Soleil!
Oh well, I guess this will work.
And so, Patisserie "La Soleil",
took its first new step as the cake shop known as "Neko Paradise".
